Dr. Mary Wingo (http://www.marywingo.com), author of The Impact of the Human Stress Response and a U.S. scientist and businesswoman living in Ecuador, began her studies of the impact of stress on living organisms when she was still a teenager. She noticed stress and the way it challenged people she knew in all walks of life. As a result, she resolved to understand stress and decipher its secrets.

Recently, Dr. Wingo joined Water Life Science® creator Sharon Kleyne on Kleyne’s nationally syndicated radio program, The Sharon Kleyne Hour Power of Water, Global Climate Change and Your Health on VoiceAmerica sponsored by Nature’s Tears® EyeMist® to share her discoveries.

Wingo, also a business consultant and life coach, described five major causes of toxic modern stress. These include COMPLEXITY (having too much on one’s plate, overstimulation that releases excess levels of cortisone and adrenalin), LOSS OF EQUALITY IN SOCIETY (causes early mortality, especially in men), LOSS OF SOCIAL CAPITAL (less communicating, fewer shared meals and events), BREAKDOWN OF HUMAN PHYSIOLOGY (inflammation of organs and skin) and CHEMICAL CONTAMINANTS (in food, water, air and building materials).

Kleyne, also founder and research director of Bio-Logic Aqua® Research Water Life Science® founder and creator of Nature’s Tears Eye Mist, has for more than two decades researched and studied stress and water evaporation—potent twin killers on the planet. “A dehydrated person is a stressed out person,” said Kleyne. Kleyne pointed out that the compromised nature of earth’s atmospheric water vapor, which is under attack from evaporation and pollution, can trigger stress and make it worse. Kleyne reminded her listeners that the surface of the human eye, for example, is naturally 99% water. When the eyes over-evaporate they become stressed out. Stress is a common component of dry eye disease. Wingo agreed and endorsed an important remedy for stressed, dry eyes, Nature’s Tears® EyeMist®. Nature’s Tears® EyeMist® is the only dry eye solution® consisting of pure, pH balanced, 100% water mist for dry eyes.

“Stress,” said Wingo, is the rate of adjustment it takes for an organism (including its organs and cells) to adapt to a particular environment.” Wingo said that people are dying from stress-related causes at an alarming rate around the world. “People need to understand what stress really is,” she said, “and how to cope with it.”

“People can manage stress better,” Kleyne agreed. “People must act more responsibly about their health. They must learn to relax while drinking lots of water, eating and sleeping properly, and learning to breathe in through the nose, out through the mouth to detoxify the body.”

“Water is life itself,” said Kleyne. “It’s the primary building block of life, and a major reliever of stress.” Wingo agreed, adding that proper hydration, a good diet and rest reduces stress and the numerous health issues that stress triggers and makes worse.
